I get at least a month 12 shaves off of a blade, easy. They cost too damn much to use them any less, I think. That's the one. Your dad needs some other metric to define a "real man". I much prefer the Caber Toss. Just make sure you reapply warm water to keep things slick. Seriously, give it a try. There's even a free sample trial if you have some reservations. If it doesn't quite meet your expectations you're only out shipping.
I'm just a very satisfied customer passing on the good word. Are you guys crazy? I've been using the same cartridge for nearly 3 months now, shaving maybe times a week. I thought those mega super packs were for large family uses. All I do is wet my face and go crazy at it with my razor. No shaving gel, no after shave. I use my Mach 3 blades until the little blue strip at the top goes white. That usually takes months since I only shave once or twice a week. I shave every couple of days in the summer, and every day during the school year if i think i can't get away with a bit of Anyway, I could use a single cartrige for a year.
I swap em out every months though. I could probably shave with a ball bearing lubed up in astroglide, so I am not a good measure of how long a blade lasts. I have barely more coarse than regular hair facial hair not more coarse than regular facial hair, think head hair , not very dense coverage It grows really fast though. I don't understand all you people who need a new blade every day.
I suppose I have tough skin, but still I have really tough, bristly hair too. I shave every 2 days sometimes stretching to 4 over the weekend. For a long time I used the cheapest 2-blade disposable razors I could find, and I would use each of those for 4, maybe 6, months. Then I got a free 3-blade razor not Mach 3, Schick maybe? I never get nicks or cuts, even shaving dry, unless I really get clumsy and drag the blade sideways across my face.
I use the Sensor because it's better at doing under my jaw. I stopped using the Mach 3 because I got sick of the blades only lasting a handful of shaves.
I got a decent electric razor, and after a few months of getting used to it, it's been working wonderfully for 18 months so far without needing new blades. It's already worked out cheaper Definitely not as satisfying to use though. Mine last approx 3 weeks to a month before I change the blades. Mind you I have a little electric battery operated razor that I trim my whole face down with before shaving with a blade. Shaving is teh EVIL! I use a beard trimmer on lowest setting every once in a while.
I get months, and that's shaving every day. I find the really slick period only lasts days, the intermediate period lasts months. If I shave in the shower I find it's harder on the blades and they tend to last only a month or two.
I happen to have fairly tough skin, though. Shave every day. Replace every couple months. Getting one shave out of a blade is just insane.

I am thinking the "indicator" on the cart is a gimmick and you can truly get more out of the blade. Gillette just wants you to buy more! Ehh, that's nothing. A friend of mine uses his for two months before replacing. I think I saw a video on youtube were a guy claimed to have been using his fusion cart.
He claimed the secret was stopping the cart on his arm. The video is at shaveblog. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads L. Electric Shaver Recommendation. Lee12 Nov 7, Modern Shaving Systems. Replies 7 Views Nov 7, garyg.

Those two attributes can work against each other, and closely spaced blades can clog more easily, especially if you have coarse or close-growing hair—which is why five blade razors can be problematic for some and work magnificently for others. If you have the time, or if you appreciate ritual and aesthetics, you should consider trying an old-school safety razor with a double-edged blade.
These hefty, steel cutting tools and their ultrasharp, economical blades have a welcome learning curve and sit at the center of a shaving culture that turns the experience into something beyond a quick removal of facial hair. Old-school shavers reading this story are likely already outraged by our decision not to condemn cartridge shaving and fully embrace double-edged razors.
We understand and profoundly apologize. We decided to eliminate disposables because no such programs had emerged, but just as we filed this story, Gillette announced that it was starting a nationwide razor recycling program that looks truly commendable: It will accept, either by mail or at drop-off points, all brands of razors, disposable or otherwise, and all packaging, for recycling. What about electric razors? For this guide, we narrowed our testing pool down to cartridge razor systems—multi-blade units where you buy the handle once, then refill it with disposable cartridges.
In recent years, shave subscription plans have given Gillette and Schick some competition. At the same time, the historically high price of name-brand razor cartridges has led to an increase in the number of generic and house-brand cartridge systems. We compiled a list of the most important features of a good razor:.
While we considered blade durability, it ended up not being a deciding factor because it varies substantially from person to person.
Gillette claims its blades last up to a month, where Dollar Shave Club pushes subscribers to change blades weekly. It was fairly easy to eliminate some: cheaper store brands that, for example, used quick-rusting carbon steel blades, rather than stainless. Individual variables include skin sensitivity, ethnicity, rate of hair growth, beard thickness and growth direction, and age both yours and that of your blades.
So we enlisted a diverse crew of testers, including people of Hispanic, African American, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and European descent, with various levels of beard growth, coarseness, and shaving frequency. Once we eliminated obvious non-contenders, we sent our 11 finalists out to seven testers plus our guide writers. We asked each tester to name their favorite razors, identify a clear favorite if they had one , and single out anything they truly found heinous.
Six out of our nine testers named the Mach3 among their top three razors, and two named it a favorite. The three blades make for a smaller cartridge head with a little more room between the blades than what five- and six-blade models have. The smaller head means sports-car like maneuverability along your chin and mustache area.
This means spent shaving cream and cut whiskers are more easily washed away when rinsed between strokes—unlike the Fusion5, which packs five blades into an only slightly larger head, or the six-bladed Dollar Shave Club and Barbasol cartridges. The handles are cosmetically different but functionally the same: The difference is—at least on paper—in the blades. According to Gillette, the Turbo blades are better at fighting irritation and have a more advanced lubricating strip.
Watch out for counterfeits and off-brand compatible cartridges. They can cost as little as a buck per cartridge, but in our experience, they were face-mangling garbage. Not worth it. The Fusion5 is fast, smooth, and has great ergonomics. Our testers who liked it really loved it, many saying that it gave them the closest shave of any of the razors in our test pool. But Fusion is also expensive, around twice the price of the Mach3.
The Fusion5 got more top-three votes than any other razor we tested: Six of our nine testers placed it in that ranking. On the other hand, it garnered more negative comments, with some saying the higher blade count scraped against their skin, or the large head was harder to maneuver. But for the majority of the complaints, the issue was that the five densely packed blades had to be rinsed more frequently.
The edge trimmer was a necessity for me, and the blades wear incredibly well. All Fusion cartridges have five blades as well as a sixth cutting edge—used for trimming and precision grooming—at the top of the cartridge. They also all have a lubricating strip.
